Christian Right Pushes Preemptive Zoning Strikes

Philip Cosby likens adult businesses to cockroaches

GOD'S COUNTRY,
U.S.A. – Oh, those wacky Christian conservatives at Focus on the Family.
If there's one group that raises their hackles more than Democrats, socialists,
liberal public school officials, rock musicians, pot smokers, homosexuals,
Gypsies, and Islamofacists, it's pornographers. And the Christian conservatives
are prepared to rally the troops to combat these flesh peddlers.

According to CitizenLink.com, the
Internet propaganda arm of Focus on the Family, "The best time to pass
zoning laws is before pornographers come to town."

Philip Cosby, executive director of
the National Coalition for Protection of Children and Families, likens those
involved in adult businesses to vermin. He issues this dire warning to small
hamlets across America
through CitizenLink.com: “You know it’s harder to get the roaches out of the
house than it is to prevent them from getting into the home.”

Cosby led a petition drive last year to drive porn shops out of Kansas City and succeeded in calling grand juries in several counties to weigh obscenity charges against stores in several counties. Charges against a Halloween costume shop and a convenience store were thrown out of court.

CitizenLink.com is now urging
concerned people everywhere that it's best to set up laws to combat adult
business before these establishments even come to town.

Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for
media and sexuality at Focus on the Family Action told CitizenLink.com,
"If a town takes these proactive steps, it has effectively protected
itself from the devastation these businesses bring."

It's possible that Weiss doesn't
recall a brilliant line from TV's "The Simpsons": "Excuse me, but "proactive" and
"paradigm"? Aren't those just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound
important?"
